Question All Responses for Callie Herring

What went well in today’s session?

The opportunity to engage with facilitators, to ask questions, share our thoughts and to
shared lived experiences based within the context of mathematical learning. Sharing and
explaining the thought behind the pedagogy, and allowing participants to share with other
colleagues in breakout rooms trying things on.

What went well in today’s session?

Number talks and diving into effective teaching practices

What went well in today’s session?

Nice that she allowed those who have been using IM to share their experiences.

What went well in today’s session?

Understanding the NCTM Effective practices with the Equity Standard. Great work!

What could have been better about today’s session?

Continue adjusting based on the needs of the participants, and being open shared
experiences that have been both positive and negative. Continue immersing participants
in problems that our students will be engaged in and challenging us to have an open mind,
to think about our learners as successful mathematicians, and to create an philosophy
that is inclusive of all and believes ALL learners are mathematicians and to set those
philosophies into ACTION on a daily basis. Lastly to continue to challenge participants to
self-reflect so there can truly be transformative teaching which our students deserve.

What could have been better about today’s session?

Having more time to expand on the effective teaching practices

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

In general: If there is an expectation that we complete a task through another site or
link, it would be helpful if there is a visual run through via shared screen of the steps
to access. This will allow all learning styles to be addressed. Thank you for the wealth
of knowledge that has been shared over the last few days :)

It was clear that she was reading a script. Some of the slides were overlapping and
impossible to read and follow until it was pointed out and she fixed it. Not sure why she
didn't see that on her end until it was pointed out.

Can we have time to get everyone to download canvas and make their classes. Also time to

What could have been better about today’s session?

Clearer picture of what the goal of the session is. Maybe a written outline that we can
follow that explains in detail what the plans are and the documents we should be looking
at. There were a lot of links in the chat and it was difficult to follow where we were
supposed to be.

What could have been better about today’s session?

Everything I said earlier. Here it is from before: This was an extremely frustrating
day. I have used IM for 2 years now. At least half of us in the group have already gone
through district/IM facilitator-led training. I had hoped that there would be some new
information/learning that I could take away from today, but it was very minimal. Mostly
gotten from talking with colleagues from different schools. Directions really need to be
written out clearly. And tasks need to be fully explained. Several times we were sent into
a breakout room and often times the majority of us didn't really understand what we were
supposed to be discussing. I hope that our facilitator listens to our district resource
teachers/team (during the pd, he acted like he didn't know who they were???) and adjusts
Day 2 accordingly. I know he did his best, but this was not an overly productive learning
day for me today. I hope tomorrow is better. Otherwise, I don't understand why our own
district people aren't providing this training. They've done a very good job so far up
until this point. I was assuming that we were be learning something new to support our
work this year.

What could have been better about today’s session?

Breakout rooms needed more time

What could have been better about today’s session?

I was completely lost on some of the activities we did today. I didn't know that we needed
to prepare ahead of time.

What could have been better about today’s session?

I would have loved more practice with the curriculum. There was a lot of repetition for
me and I found myself losing interest. I really want to get into the curriculum (from the
website) and dive into what a lesson will look like.

What could have been better about today’s session?

slower in the beginning, the technology was bouncing all around, and we ran out of time in
the breakout sessions every time.

What could have been better about today’s session?

More time to explore the curriculum!

What could have been better about today’s session?

Needed more time to read and discuss.

What could have been better about today’s session?

Information not what I was looking for. It was stuff that I have heard before. I wanted to
dive into Illustrative. Personally, I don't like to be called on to read aloud.

What could have been better about today’s session?

Less information all at once. Seven hours of sitting has given me a cramp in my hip and
left me with a headache.

What could have been better about today’s session?

Not enough breaks in between

More hands on type work

What could have been better about today’s session?

Better relate to what we are/ will be working on this year. How to backwards plan, meet

What could have been better about today’s session?

We needed about 2 additional minutes in the breakout rooms every time.

The breakout rooms sometimes did not have enough time.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Allow participants to reply without picking on them.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Having time today to go over the routine was very helpful. As a group we were quite
familiar with the routine, but it allowed us to talk about what was really working and
make suggestions.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

It was very difficult to follow along with the training today. It was also unclear what
today's goal was.

There were a lot of instructions and our break out group often was not super clear what we
were supposed to be doing. We also always ran out of time. Shorter tasks would have been
better.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Fun Stuff. Looking forward to tomorrow.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Evan did not have the information he should have had regarding the nature of the group
and where they are in their professional learning, as well as information about district
initiatives already in place to make sure the training is well-aligned. This may have
impacted his energy level for facilitation. He failed to create a learning environment
with high engagement.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Felt rushed

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Please let out on time.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

There was not enough time in breakout rooms and the task/ directions were not always

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Just seemed all over the place, PD's need to be more differentiated.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

A lot of the discussion questions would be better for a group who has had a lot of
experience with the IM curriculum. I feel like for those of us who are new to the
curriculum and have had limited experience with it, from one mini lesson there was not
time to see how it all connected to the Equity Based practices

What could have been better about today’s session?

I feel like it took a long time to get to that point. Although the prior information was
essential, maybe it could have moved at a faster pace.

What could have been better about today’s session?

I think it's impoertant to be clear that kids all learn at different paces and the grades
above should blame the grades below for deficiencies in a child's learning.

What could have been better about today’s session?

We were mis-informed thinking we were going to jump straight into new curriculum so it was
a rough start. However, principal confirmed we weren't expected to start the school year
with this and that helped alleviate the stress of soemthing new.

What went well in today’s session?

Going more into depth on the purpose behind practices. Applying teaching methods but also
using that to understand at a deeper level the underlying philosophy we need to keep in
mind.

What went well in today’s session?

It was refreshing to get a closer look at the curriculum itself. We did a deep dive into
an activity that literally opened up my eyes. I had this epiphany where I was making
correlations to the way we teach science in SDUSD. It became clear to me that the two
processes were almost identical. Many a-ha moments today.

What could have been better about today’s session?

New material. Time for teaching teams to work together to plan for the coming year.

What could have been better about today’s session?

The afternoon 45 minutes that was spent on "practicing" facilitating an Number Talk was
ridiculous. Half of us have been doing these for several years. Others were still trying
to understand how to interact with the curriculum. The sample warm ups chosen for us to
use seemed very random for people who were unfamiliar with them. More information on the
hows or whys might have been helpful. Also, I was hoping that we would be given time to
actually dig in to the materials/curriculum and start adapting and tweaking it so that
it is more culturally responsive and connecting/relatable for our students. Lastly, will
there be any conversation about filling in missing learning gaps from last year? We only
taught half of the curriculum to our students. This is going to be an issue.

What could have been better about today’s session?

It would have been better to use those 40 mins to dive into the curriculum with our site
teams to work on how to make it more culturally relevant.

I personally need way more time with the curriculum and preparing to teach it, since I am
brand new to IM

What could have been better about today’s session?

I would love to explore IM on the website and get more information about how to use the
curriculum materials.

What could have been better about today’s session?

I would really like time to plan with my school site. We have been using this curriculum
for several years and are already familiar with the routines and structure of the
curriculum, most of this is not new learning.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

All the information being taught is a bit overwhelming. Too much to learn adequately in a
3 day bootcamp.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

She made the day very engaging.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

She was not aware of the group's needs. The material was repetitive for a number of the
group and those individuals did not benefit from the training.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Today went relatively smoothly, especially compared to yesterday (different facilitator).
Facilitator seemed more confident and purposeful.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

I have been using the Illustrative curriculum for 3 years in my class now. Seeing as
though I was part of the research team that first started this initiative these last
few days have felt overwhelmingly repetitive. It would have been helpful to have had two
separate trainings one for those who are new to the curriculum and one for the ones who
have already implemented this curriculum in their classrooms. It would have also been
more beneficial for us to have some help and time to plan with our school sites on how to
adjust this curriculum to be more culturally relevant to our students.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

It was amazing. I felt like my thinking mattered. Kristen was so great with the flow,
and moving ever so incrementally through each step, getting me closer and closer without
making me feel like I was missing a step, or that the class was moving too fast, or too
slow.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Much of the session was stuff we already knew or have already been doing for the last 2
years.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

I felt like there was a disconnect with the Towers of Hanoi lesson. As a student, I was
asked to come up with a strategy to solve it in as few moves as possible. We never really
determined a solid strategy. Furthermore, it was later revealed that the number of moves
required could come from the equation total moves = (2^n)-1 . When shown the formula it
was very briefly mentioned that number of moves was growing exponentially and that is
where the equation came from. Students were not asked to do any "heavy lifting" to come
up with the formula and it actually wasn't even explained how the "teacher" came up with
the (2^n)-1. Also, later on during the number talks, somebody gave a wrong answer and the
facilitator did not seem to notice and just moved on which would confuse students trying
to formulate a solid understanding.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Loved her - very clear, concise

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Much better than yesterday; however, some was really repetitive - the Tower Activity and
the WarmUp Practice (8th grade was the exact same and I wish Ms. Taylor's comments about
what to focus on in the narrative was mentioned before our 'planning')

What could have been better about today’s session?

It was a little slow

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

Too long of a zoom for one day. Monotone, reading from a script & lots of unnessesary
breakout rooms. One or 2 fine....but a bit too much. We are experienced teachers & need
the "meat" of the curriculum.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

I think with such a long training, we need more breaks. This is far too long to be sitting
and taking in info.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

More time in breakout rooms, so maybe fewer breakout rooms to give more time.

More teacher interaction--felt like only a few carried the conversation participation.

Need to build in some breaks and more time to process because the content was deep/heavy
and thought provoking.

The part on challenging marginality. The content was good but this was not a great session
to put at the end of a very long day and week.

It's a long day. Maybe more breaks?

needs to be more engaging

The length of the training is challenging.

What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?

I think we need more break out rooms and short breaks. It's hard to have so much whole
group especially on zoom

Need more time to process with colleauges. Need small breaks so we dont miss things. 3
hours of talking to is rough.
